what should I get..
Tein CS (Monotube constructionad, adjustable dampners )
Special Note: A comfort ride system compare to HKS LS.They are valved and sprung to fulfill their intended mission of offering up improved ride comfort. More specifically their valving will impact the performance they can deliver. And to add, revalving them is extremely expensive if you find they are too soft for you. If you want performance, pick a different Tein offering or pick a different brand.
Spring rates 392/392

HKS LS G35 (Monotube construction, non adjustable dampners)
Spring rates 448/336
Special Note: A comfort ride system, compare to Tein CS coilover

Those are the two coilover system's specifically developed for ride quality first and foremost.

If you didn't mention the desire for a 1" drop, I would recommend a shock and spring combo. But for me the key was a desire for the best ride quality possible AND a 1" drop.

Part of me wanted to mention the Bilstein PSS9 setup because of it's rather mild spring rates and progressive rear spring setup. But, then I do remember my conversation with a tech at Bilstein about how they do have "performance" valving in the dampners. Of course their idea for performance may not match mine.

Bilstein PSS9 coilover (Monotube construction, adjustable dampners)
Special Note: Mild spring rates, but Bilstein says the dampners are performance valved
Spring rates 370/240-420 (rear progressive)
